More4 TV Guide: Listings, Schedule & What’s On More4 Tonight

Published: 29 August 2026

More4 is Channel 4’s factual and lifestyle channel: property shows, food formats and the fly-on-the-wall documentaries that would crowd out the main channel’s schedule. It launched on 10 October 2005 and has been free to air since 6 May 2008, when it dropped the subscription requirement it had briefly carried on satellite. Sunday’s full listings are below, with channel numbers further down the page.

What’s on More4 today

Sunday’s More4 schedule runs to 26 slots built from nine unique programmes, with a seven-episode run of A Place in the Sun and a five-night Come Dine with Me week doing most of the daytime heavy lifting before Four in a Bed takes over the evening.

Overnight, 999: On the Front Line closes out the previous night just after midnight, followed by two more editions of 24 Hours in A&E, one from series 10 and one from series 11. The Perfect Pitch calls in at Ben Nevis Holiday Park at 3:20am, then Discover Must Have Ideas: Shopping fills the rest of the night in two long stretches through to 8:55am.

A Place in the Sun then takes over for seven episodes running to 3:50pm, house-hunting from Spain’s Costa Blanca to Mallorca — it’s also on 4seven and Really today, though all three channels are showing different episodes. Come Dine with Me runs its full five-night Leeds week from 3:50pm to 6:20pm, before Four in a Bed picks up the evening — see below for how that plays out in primetime.

More4 tonight — primetime and the evening schedule

Here’s the More4 primetime line-up for tonight, Sunday 30 August 2026.

Come Dine with Me’s Leeds week reaches its last course at 6:20pm, marketing manager Satty’s Bollywood-themed finale closing five nights of home cooking and none-too-gentle scoring.

Four in a Bed — More4, 6:20pm to 9pm

Four in a Bed then runs the length of primetime in one uninterrupted block, series 2’s episodes 11 to 15 in order — a different run from the ten Four in a Bed episodes 4seven has been showing earlier in the day. Hosting duties move from Jon and Julia’s Derwent House in West Sussex to Peter and Sharron’s Kirkby Park in Liverpool, then to Plas Dinas Country House, deep in Snowdonia, with Andy and Julian, before Annette’s farm in Yorkshire closes out the week — with the takings revealed on payment day at 8:30pm.

Surgeons: Life in Their Hands — More4, 9pm

Surgeons: Life in Their Hands takes the 9pm hour, meeting a rock-climbing adventurer in his twenties whose liver condition has made a transplant urgent, with his relatives facing the prospect of losing him inside months.

Police Rescue — More4, 10pm

At 10pm, Police Rescue follows a call-out to a hiker doubled over with back pain, and a man badly hurt in a six-metre fall down some steps.

24 Hours in A&E — More4, 11pm

The night closes with 24 Hours in A&E at 11pm, treating a motorcyclist in her fifties who has come off her bike head-on into a lamppost, and a heavily pregnant patient who has gashed her thumb on a cleaver a week before her due date.

What kind of shows are on More4

Fly-on-the-wall documentary

This is the strand More4 is known for. 24 Hours in A&E and 999: On the Front Line both use the same method: fixed cameras, real emergencies, no reconstructions. Neither has changed that formula in over a decade of running.

Property and food formats

A Place in the Sun and Come Dine with Me anchor the daytime and early-evening schedule. One is about the fantasy of starting again somewhere warmer; the other is about strangers cooking for each other and being far too honest about the results. Four in a Bed does the same job for the B&B trade. Between them they account for most of what More4 broadcasts before 6pm.

Imported drama and classic comedy

More4 also fills gaps with imported crime drama, a fair amount of Nordic noir, and repeats from Channel 4’s own sitcom back-catalogue. It’s schedule filler between the factual strands rather than anything the channel commissions for itself.

How to watch More4

Channel numbers

Here’s where to find More4 across the main UK television platforms:

More4 is free on all of the above, with no subscription required.

Streaming online

More4 streams live and free at channel4.com/now/m4 and via the Channel 4 app on smart TVs, iOS, Android, Amazon Fire TV, Roku and PlayStation. You’ll need a free Channel 4 account, which costs nothing to set up. Recent episodes of most More4 shows are also available to watch on demand through Channel 4’s streaming platform shortly after broadcast.

More4 +1 and sister channels

More4 +1 runs the schedule an hour behind on Virgin Media, channel 347, but was withdrawn from Freeview back in June 2022. If you miss the start of something on Freeview, the Channel 4 on-demand service is the more reliable way to catch up.

More4 sits alongside Channel 4’s other free channels: the main Channel 4 service, E4 (entertainment and US imports), Film4 (movies) and 4seven (catch-up repeats).

Frequently asked questions

What’s on More4 tonight?

Tonight, Sunday 30 August 2026, Four in a Bed runs the length of the evening in one five-episode block, 6:20pm to 9pm, wrapping up series 2 on its payment-day finale. Surgeons: Life in Their Hands follows at 9pm, then Police Rescue at 10pm and 24 Hours in A&E at 11pm see the night out. There’s no film on More4 tonight. Full times are in the schedule table above.

What time do the main documentaries start on More4?

More4’s documentary strands usually sit between 9pm and 11pm, after the property shows have had the earlier part of the evening. A new series launch or a one-off special can push that earlier, so check the on-screen guide if the evening looks different from usual.

Can I watch More4 online for free?

Verdict

More4 doesn’t try to be flashy, and that’s the point. It’s where Channel 4 parks programming that works without gimmicks: a B&B owner docking marks over a soggy fry-up, or a transplant surgeon talking a frightened family through the odds. The daytime schedule leans on the same recycled formats every day, and Sunday is no exception — nine unique titles fill 26 slots, with a full week of Come Dine with Me sitting between a seven-episode run of A Place in the Sun and the evening’s Four in a Bed marathon.

Tonight’s primetime keeps the channel’s factual identity front and centre: five straight episodes of Four in a Bed run from 6:20pm to the payment-day finale at 9pm, then Surgeons: Life in Their Hands, Police Rescue and 24 Hours in A&E carry the schedule through to midnight. No film tonight, just five and a half hours of the two strands More4 does best.
